Mike Trout Out for 2024 Season Due to Injury

Mike Trout, the Los Angeles Angels' star outfielder, will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a second surgery required for a torn meniscus in his left knee. Trout initially underwent surgery in May after playing only 29 games and attempted a comeback through a rehab assignment, which ended abruptly due to knee soreness. His latest injury adds to a series of health issues that have plagued him over the past four seasons, limiting his playing time significantly. This season, Trout was hitting .220 with 10 home runs, a testament to his enduring talent despite frequent setbacks. Despite his injuries, Trout remains determined to return stronger, as emphasized in his social media statement expressing his heartbreak and resolve. Angels' GM Perry Minasian remains optimistic about Trout's future, predicting a strong comeback in 2025.
